Cyclops
–
A cyclops, in Greek mythology and later Roman mythology, was a member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the center of his forehead. The word cyclops literally means round-eyed or circle-eyed, other accounts were written by the playwright Euripides, poet Theocritus and Roman epic poet Virgil. In Hesiods Theogony, Zeus releases three cyclopes from the pit of Tartarus. They provide Zeus thunderbolt, Hades helmet of invisibility, and Poseidons trident, in a famous episode of Homers Odyssey, the hero Odysseus encounters the cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon and Thoosa, who lives with his fellow cyclopes in a distant country. The connection between the two groups has been debated in antiquity and by modern scholars and it is upon Homers account that Euripides and Virgil based their accounts of the mythical creatures. Strabo describes another group of seven Lycian cyclopes, also known as Bellyhands because they earned from their handicraft and they had built the walls of Tiryns and perhaps the caverns and the labyrinths near Nauplia, which are called cyclopean. All the other sources of literature about the cyclopes describe the cyclops Polyphemus, various ancient Greek and Roman authors wrote about cyclopes. Hesiod described them as three brothers who were primordial giants. ”However others suggest that Homer’s Polyphemus may have had two eyes and it is pointed out that in the Odyssey when the actual blinding occurs there is a reference to plural brows and lids. It is also noted that the first artistic or graphic depiction of the episode appears on an amphora that was created by the Polyphemos Painter c. 680-650 B. C. and the artist shows the blinding stake has two prongs, as two eyes are being targeted. In the Theogony by Hesiod, the cyclopes – Brontes, Steropes and the bright Arges – were the sons of Uranus and Gaia and brothers of the Hekatonkheires. As such, they were blood-related to the Titan and Olympian gods and they were giants with a single eye in the middle of their forehead and a foul disposition. According to Hesiod, they were strong and stubborn, collectively they eventually became synonyms for brute strength and power, and their name was invoked in connection with massive masonry. They were often pictured at their forge, Uranus, fearing their strength, locked them in Tartarus. Cronus, another son of Uranus and Gaia, later freed the cyclopes, along with the Hekatonkhires, Cronus then placed them back in Tartarus, where they remained, guarded by the female monster Campe, until freed by Zeus. They fashioned thunderbolts for Zeus to use as weapons, and helped him overthrow Cronus, the lightning bolts, which became Zeus main weapons, were forged by all three cyclopes, in that Arges added brightness, Brontes added thunder, and Steropes added lightning. According to a hymn of Callimachus, they were Hephaestus helpers at the forge, the cyclopes were said to have built the cyclopean fortifications at Tiryns and Mycenae in the Peloponnese. The noises proceeding from the heart of volcanoes were attributed to their operations, Euripides only extant comedy is his play Cyclops, which takes place on the island of Sicily near the volcano Mount Etna

Each of the three sections deals with a different symbol, the first is the Postman himself, Gordon Krantz, who takes the uniform solely for warmth after he loses everything but his sleeping clothes. He wanders without establishing himself anywhere and performs scenes from William Shakespeare plays for supplies, taking shelter in a long-abandoned postal van, he finds a sack of mail and takes it to a nearby community to barter for food and shelter. His initial assertions to be a real postman build not because of a fraud but because people are desperate to believe in him.

The Holnists southern enemy is a bit of a mystery, and the Postman is able to identify this Holnist enemy only by the symbol they rally behind, the final scenes of the novel give the impression that the groups may come together in an effort to revive civilization

BattleMech
–
BattleMechs are large walking war machines that feature prominently in the fictional universe of BattleTech. Mechs, which are generally either bipedal or quadrupedal in configuration, are controlled by human pilots, BattleMechs debuted in FASA Corporations BattleTech, a board game of futuristic armored combat played with dice, counters and paper record sheets on a map of hexagonal territories. Legal impediments with George Lucas over the use of the term droid forced the name of the game to change in the edition to BattleTech. This, combined with legal troubles with Playmates, led FASA in the 1990s to remove all images of early designs from subsequent published material. This fact led fans to dub these early Mechs the Unseen, Mechs in BattleTech vary from one another in many ways, including mass, speed, chassis configuration, armor and armament, resulting in a practically limitless array of legal Mech designs. FASA and its successors WizKids, FanPro, and Catalyst Game Labs created hundreds of official BattleMechs to complement the game, as the BattleTech franchise has grown, BattleMechs have increasingly appeared beyond the confines of the board game. In the BattleTech universe, the first BattleMech ever developed was the Mackie MSK-6S and it was developed in 2439 by the Terran Hegemony, first deployed in 2443, and produced throughout the rest of the Inner Sphere after its construction plans were stolen in 2455. Significant development and refinement of the technology followed through subsequent centuries, Mech advancement in the Inner Sphere crested during the reign of the Star League, but slowly degraded during the protracted conflicts of the Succession Wars. Star League-era BattleMech technology was preserved during this period of decline by a military faction known as the Clans. Absent from the Inner Sphere for centuries, they returned in 3049 fielding Mechs of considerable sophistication, the first confirmed sighting of a Clan Mech by an Inner Sphere observer was that of a Timber Wolf by the legendary Phelan Kell of the Kell Hounds mercenary unit. After the collapse of the 2nd Star League in late 3067, smaller factories retooled and began manufacturing ancient designs dating back to the Age of War when Mackie was first introduced. The creation of hybrids from these ancient designs and new technologies led to a slow progress in Mech development, despite the return to all-out war. However, the collapse of the hyperpulse generator network in the early 32nd century disrupted Mech advancement, the term Mech broadly applies to all mecha within the BattleTech universe. BattleMechs, those that are intended for combat or related operations, are the predominant variety, non-combat models do exist, however, and are generally referred to as WorkMechs or UtilityMechs. These models tend to be specialized to perform a task such as harvesting, lumbering, scavenging, repair. OmniMechs are a sub-class of BattleMech that mount weapons and equipment in modular pods, the pods are easily swapped or changed, enabling engineers to customize an OmniMechs components for any given mission. With few exceptions, every model of BattleMech bears both a name and an identifying code. Codes generally use letters from the Mechs name, followed by a reference to the submodel or variant

Humans have access to their ship, the Spirit of Fire, Covenant units are generally weaker than their UNSC counterparts, but can use inexpensive and powerful defensive shield generators to add protection to their bases

Portrait of an American Family
–
Portrait of an American Family is the debut full-length studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on July 19,1994 in the US through Nothing and it was produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. The album was known as The Manson Family Album – a direct reference to serial killer Charles Mansons own band – but was retitled prior to release. It is the only Marilyn Manson studio album to feature bassist Gidget Gein and he eventually took over Geins place and briefly adopted his image. Contrary to popular belief, Ramirez did not play bass on the album, though Sara Lee Lucas was the featured drummer on the album, Nine Inch Nails live keyboardist Charlie Clouser used a drum machine to replace the work Lucas did. Daisy Berkowitz helped compose music for all of the songs except Prelude, the album was certified Gold on May 29,2003 by the Recording Industry Association of America in the United States. Recording sessions for its debut, Portrait of an American Family. At the time, Snake Eyes and Sissies was on track to be the bands first single, however the band was simply not satisfied with the output of these recording sessions and shelved the album for a short time. Within a few months, the band convinced rising star Trent Reznor to produce the album instead, in October 1993, Reznor agreed to fully commit to the project, taking them and their tapes to various studios in Los Angeles. Snake Eyes and Sissies would never see a release and in the albums credits Mosimann is credited as an engineer with no mention of his production work. Years later, former guitarist Daisy Berkowitz was asked about these original recordings in an interview, the interviewer then released them to the Internet where they are now widely available, usually labeled as Portrait of an American Family or Portrait of an American Family Demos. So what I was trying to point out was that when our parents hide the truth from us, Cake and Sodomy is the second track on the album. In 1990, Manson met a woman at a McDonalds restaurant in Fort Lauderdale who invited him to spend a weekend with her in New York City. Upon discovering that the girl was using her sisters ID because she was too young to work, Manson abandoned her, shortly after which he ran into two clubbers from South Florida. Manson spent the remainder of his stay in New York at the hotel room, where he stumbled on public-access television cable television channels. This inspired Manson to grab the hotel notepad and begin penning the songs lyrics, Manson explains in his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell that I had written other songs I thought were good, but Cake and Sodomy was more than just a good song. As an anthem for the hypocritical America slobbering on the tit of Christianity, Lunchbox is the second single and the third track of the album. It was inspired by a piece of legislation dating back to 1972, the earliest recording of this song dates back to the bands After School Special cassette tape, released in December 1991

This subject had been painted before by artists such as Moreau, however Redon has taken this myth, in Redons version, Polyphemus is shown as a non-threatening passive creature. The normally menacing beast is shown softly gazing with an eye that has been seen in previous Redon works. Galatea, the naiad, is naked and vulnerably lying on a patch of vegetation. It appears Polyphemus is keeping one gentle eye watching over the sexualized maiden and he has hidden himself from Galatea behind the rocky terrain, too shy to directly confront her helpless form. Redons departure from the depiction of Polyphemus was influenced by his dream-like style. Redon, born in Bordeaux on April 20,1840, worked his way into the art community and he had to take the entrance exam for art school more than once, his artwork was at first only known and popular in Symbolist circles. Redon was a contemporary of Monet and Renoir but never an adherent of Impressionism, Redon was viewed as an outsider and his art was not widely accepted during his life. The official Salon rejected his work and he rarely exhibited other than at La vie moderne in 1881 and at Le Gaulois in 1882. Drawing deeply from his imagination, Redon explains, My father often used to say to me, Look at those clouds, can you see as I can, and then he would show me strange beings, fantastic and marvelous visions, in the changing sky. So much of what Redon would create was conjured from his imagination and this fabulous theme, similar to Hieronymus Bosch and the writer Edgar Allan Poe, was refreshing for the period and caught the eye of Andries Bonger. Bonger would become Redons primary collector and over time his intimate friend and it was through this relationship that Redon gained his good standing in the art community. The Cyclops Polyphemus was not the first mythical creature to grace Redons work, centaurs, winged horses, satyrs, sirens and even human-headed spiders also frequent his paintings and drawings. In his work The Origins, a series of eight lithograph illustrations done in 1883, Redon depicts another Cyclops and you can see a great similarity in style to the larger painting The Cyclops. The eyes of both creatures are large and would otherwise be menacing if it werent for the nature in their rendering. No.3 goofily smiles while staring upward to the sky, not much can be seen of his location but it appears to be outdoors. The mis-shapen polyp floated on the shores, a sort of smiling hideous Cyclops, the creature, usually meant to be repulsive and terrifying, does not manage to strike fear into the viewers heart

Cyclops (roller coaster)
–
Cyclops is the name of a wooden roller coaster located at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Cyclops first opened in 1995 and was built by Custom Coasters International and is intertwined with Zeuss structure, cyclops was designed by Dennis McNulty and Larry Bill of Custom Coasters. Ride operates with a single train, built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The last car of the train is notable among coaster enthusiasts for the intense ejector air-time experienced during the ride, because of this, only riders 18 and older were allowed in the last two rows. However, in 2014, the hill was re-profiled. Height,85 feet Drop,76 feet Top Speed,58 mph Length,1,750 feet Trains,1 -20 passenger Train Mfg, Philadelphia Toboggan Co

Cromemco Cyclops
–
The Cyclops Camera, introduced in 1975 by Cromemco, was the first commercial all-digital camera using a digital MOS area image sensor. It was also the first digital camera to be interfaced to a microcomputer, the digital sensor for the camera was a modified 1K memory chip that offered a resolution of 32 ×32 pixels. The Cyclops Camera was developed by Terry Walker, Harry Garland, and Roger Melen, one month earlier the MITS Altair 8800 microcomputer had been introduced in this same magazine. Les Solomon, technical editor of Popular Electronics, saw the value of interfacing the Cyclops to the Altair, Roger Melen met with Ed Roberts at MITS headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Roberts encouraged Melen to interface the Cyclops to the Altair, promising to ship Melen an early Altair computer so that he, Roger Melen formed a partnership with Harry Garland to produce the Cyclops Camera, and other products for the Altair computer. They named their new venture Cromemco after the Stanford University dormitory where they both had lived as graduate students, in January 1976 MITS introduced the Cromemco Cyclops Camera as the first peripheral for the Altair Computer. The Cyclops Camera used an image sensor that was actually a modified MOS computer memory chip. The opaque cover on the chip was removed and replaced with a glass lid, the theory of operation was described in the original Popular Electronics article. Initially the 1024 memory locations, which were arranged in a 32 ×32 array, were filled with all 1s, light shining on these memory cells would cause their contents to change to 0s. The stronger the light, the more quickly a cell would change from 1 to 0, the Cyclops used a 25mm f2.8 D-mount lens to focus an image on the sensor array. The memory array was scanned once to store all 1’s in the memory elements and this was quickly followed by a series of 15 read-out scans. The cells that had the most incident light changed from 1 to 0 the soonest, cells with little or no incident light would not change at all. So with a series of scans the Cyclops could produce a digital, the Cyclops also had two bias lights that could be used to increase its sensitivity in low-light environments. These lights could be adjusted manually or under computer control to shine a uniform. Once adjusted, the Cyclops would then be sensitive to even the smallest amount of incident light from an image, today solid-state digital cameras are ubiquitous. A high-resolution digital camera sensor today may contain 20 million sensor elements which is 20,000 times more than the 0.001 megapixel sensor of the Cyclops, but the Cyclops was a beginning, and a harbinger of digital cameras today.

Cyclops (computer system)
–
The system, which must be activated by the service line umpire before each serve, projects five or six infra-red horizontal beams of light along the court 10 mm above the ground. One beam covers the side of the service line and others cover the fault side. If a served ball hits the first beam, the beams are turned off. A long serve is indicated by an audible signal, obvious long serves that go beyond Cyclops beams are called by the service line umpire. The system is tuned before and during each tournament by a representative of the company which rents the system and this representative stays through the tournament and confers with tournament officials afterwards to determine any problems which may have arisen. The system has been refined to improve accuracy, although no statistics on its efficacy are available. The Cyclops computer system was introduced to the Wimbledon Championships in 1980 and the U. S. Open in 1981, and was also used at the Australian Open. In 2007 it was removed from Wimbledons Centre Court and Court No.1 to allow the use of the Hawk-Eye system first introduced at the U. S. Open in 2006. At the present time Cyclops is not used in any capacity at any of the Grand Slam events, a famous moment involving Cyclops occurred at Wimbledon in 1980 when Ilie Năstase got down on his hands and knees to talk to the equipment to argue an out signal

Cyclops (genus)
–
Cyclops is one of the most common genera of freshwater copepods, comprising over 400 species. Together with other similar-sized non-copepod fresh-water crustaceans, especially cladocera, they are called water fleas. The name Cyclops comes from the Cyclops of Greek mythology which shares the quality of having a large eye. Cyclops individuals may range from ½–5 mm long and are divided into two sections. The broadly oval front section comprises the head and the first five thoracic segments, the hind part is considerably slimmer and is made up of the sixth thoracic segment and the four legless pleonic segments. Two caudal appendages project from the rear, although they may be difficult to observe, Cyclops has 5 pairs of legs. The long first antennae,2 in number, are used by the males for gripping the females during mating, afterwards, the female carries the eggs in two small sacs on her body. The larvae, or nauplii, are free-swimming and unsegmented, Cyclops has a cosmopolitan distribution in fresh water, but is less frequent in brackish water. It lives along the banks of stagnant and slow-flowing bodies of water. It swims with characteristic jerky movements, Cyclops has the capacity to survive unsuitable conditions by forming a cloak of slime. Average lifespan is about 3 months, Cyclops is intermediate host of dracunculiasis and fish tapeworm infection. Cyclops can be controlled using physical, chemical, biological and engineering methods, straining of water through piece of fine cloth is sufficient to remove Cyclops. It can also be killed by boiling water, as it is killed by heat at 60°C. Chlorine destroys guineaworm larvae and Cyclops in strength of 5 ppm, although this concentration of chlorine gives bad odour, excess chlorine can be removed by dechlorination. Lime at dosage of 4 gram per gallon of water can be used, temefos kills cyclops at concentration of 1 mg/litre. Small fish like barbel and Gambusia feed on Cyclops and this method was used in Indian state of Karnataka to eradicate dracunculiasis. Provision of drinking water through piping water supply, use of tubewells and abolition of stepwells are effective measures on community level

Cyclops laser
–
Cyclops was a high-power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1975. It was the second constructed in the labs Laser program. The Cyclops was a single-beam Neodymium glass laser, the Janus laser, a two-beam version of it, was also completed in 1975. This novel problem only became obvious as the lasers were scaled up in power to where nonlinear phenomena occur with very intense beams of light, at the time there was no strong theoretical understanding of these effects, and predicting them was difficult. As Krupke noted, It was like the Rosetta stone, with this quantitative correspondence, they were able to plot the nonlinear refractive performance of millions of glasses and find the one with the lowest possible value. We then worked with our partners to make a composition with the characteristics we needed. Although using the glass was able to reduce the problem as much as possible. The simplest way to eliminate these effects was to them out physically using what essentially amounts to a Fourier transform technique applied to the beams spaitial intensity profile. Imaging spatial filters are, in effect, small inverted telescopes inserted in the beam to focus the light through a pinhole. Such a laser had not previously built, the earlier Janus laser. It was precisely the problems of building a laser that Cyclops was built to study. In this goal Cyclops was successful, and every major ICF effort since has used the spatial filtering technique, while Cyclops was still under construction, another LLNL laser was being built that also incorporated the spatial filtering technique, Argus. Argus passed its light through a series of amplifiers, with spatial filters between each stage and easily achieved terawatt beam powers

Cyclops (rock)
–
Agate /ˈæɡət/ is a cryptocrystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. Although agates may be found in various kinds of rock, they are associated with volcanic rocks. Colorful agates and other chalcedonies were obtained over 3,000 years ago from the Achates River, Agate has also been known to fill veins or cracks in volcanic or altered rock underlain by granitic intrusive masses. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of lines, often of extreme tenuity. Such stones are known as banded agate, riband agate and striped agate, perhaps the most comprehensive review of agate chemistry is a recent text by Moxon cited below. This green silicate may give rise by alteration to a iron oxide. The outer surface of an agate, freed from its matrix, is pitted and rough. The first layer spread over the wall of the cavity has been called the priming, when the matrix in which the agates are embedded disintegrates, they are set free. The agates are extremely resistant to weathering and remain as nodules in the soil, or are deposited as gravel in streams, a Mexican agate, showing only a single eye, has received the name of cyclops agate. Dendritic agates have fern like patterns in them formed due to the presence of manganese, other types of included matter deposited during agate-building include sagenitic growths and chunks of entrapped detritus. Occasionally agate fills a void left by decomposed vegetative material such as a limb or root and is called limb cast agate due to its appearance. Enhydro agate contains tiny inclusions of water, sometimes with air bubbles, turritella agate is formed from silicified fossil Elimia tenera shells. E. tenera are spiral freshwater gastropods having elongated, spiral shells composed of many whorls, similarly, coral, petrified wood and other organic remains or porous rocks can also become agatized. Agatized coral is often referred to as Petoskey stone or agate, greek agate is a name given to pale white to tan colored agate found in Sicily back to 400 BC. The Greeks used it for making jewelry and beads, brazilian agate is found as sizable geodes of layered nodules. These occur in brownish tones interlayered with white and gray, quartz forms within these nodules, creating a striking specimen when cut opposite the layered growth axis. It is often dyed in various colors for ornamental purposes, certain stones, when examined in thin sections by transmitted light, show a diffraction spectrum due to the extreme delicacy of the successive bands, whence they are termed rainbow agates. Often agate coexists with layers or masses of opal, jasper or crystalline quartz due to ambient variations during the formation process, lace agate is a variety that exhibits a lace-like pattern with forms such as eyes, swirls, bands or zigzags

Project Cyclops
–
Project Cyclops was a 1971 NASA project that investigated how SETI should be conducted. As a NASA product the report is in the public domain, the project team created a design for coordinating large numbers of radio telescopes to search for Earth-like radio signals at a distance of up to 1000 light-years to find intelligent life. The proposed design was shelved due to costs, however, the report became the basis for much of the SETI work to follow. The main conclusions, taken verbatim from the report, the italics are in the original, as is the flowery language,1. It is vastly less expensive to look for and to send signals than to contact by spaceship or by probes. This conclusion is based not on the present state of our technological prowess, the order-of-magnitude uncertainty in the average distance between communicative civilizations in the galaxy strongly argues for an expandable search system. The search can be begun with the system that would be effective for nearby stars. The system is then expanded and the search carried farther into space until success is achieved or a new strategy is initiated. Of all the means at our disposal, microwaves are the best. They are also the best for other races and for the same reasons, the energy required at these wavelengths is least and the necessary stabilities and collecting areas are fundamentally easier to realize and cheaper than at shorter wavelengths. The best part of the region is the low frequency end of the microwave window- frequencies from about 1 to 2 or 3 GHz. Nature has provided us with a rather narrow band in this best part of the spectrum that seems especially marked for interstellar contact. It lies between the lines of hydrogen and the hydroxyl radical. It is technologically feasible today to build phased antenna arrays operable in the 1- to 3 GHz region with total collecting areas of 100 or more square kilometers. The Cyclops system is not nearly this large, but we see no technological limits that would prevent its expansion to such a size, thus rapid information transmission can occur once contact has been confirmed between two civilizations. In the search phase we cannot count on receiving signals beamed at us by directive antennas, neither can we afford to overlook this possibility. Beamed signals may be radiated at relatively low powers by communicative races to as many as a thousand nearby likely stars, long range beacons, intended to be detectable at any of the million or so likely stars within 1000 light-years, will probably be omnidirectional and very high powered. Beacons will very likely be circularly polarized and will surely be highly monochromatic, spectral widths of 1 Hz or less are probable

Cyclops-class monitor
–
The Cyclops-class monitor was a group of four ironclad breastwork monitors built for the Royal Navy during the 1870s. They were slightly modified versions of the Cerberus-class monitors, the ships were ordered to satisfy demands for local defence during the war scare of 1870, but the pace of construction slowed down tremendously as the perceived threat of war declined. The Cyclops-class monitors spent most of their careers in reserve and were sold off in 1903. The immediate reason why these ships were ordered was for local coast defence during the war scare during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, but they were chosen for several other reasons. They were small and cheap, and their draft was thought to limit them to defensive operations. The Admiralty, however, envisioned them attacking shallow-water ports that larger ironclads could not enter, the ships used the basic design of the Cerberus-class breastwork monitors to reduce design and construction time. Their hulls were completed quickly, but the pace of building reduced as the likelihood of their immediate use diminished. They were delivered to the Royal dockyards in 1872 and commissioned for fitting out, the ships had an length between perpendiculars of 225 feet, a beam of 45 feet, and a draught of 16 feet 3 inches at deep load. Their crew consisted of 156 officers and men, the Cyclops-class ships and other ships of her type were described by Admiral George Alexander Ballard as being like full-armoured knights riding on donkeys, easy to avoid but bad to close with. While not unfit to face heavy weather their decks were awash in even a moderate sea. Their accommodations were rated the worst in the fleet, referred to by ordinary seamen as ratholes with tinned air, the Cyclops-class ships had two steam engines, each driving a single 12-foot propeller. Cyclops and Hydra had 4-cylinder inverted compound steam engines made by John Elder that had a pressure of 60 psi. The engines produced a total of 1, 472–1,528 indicated horsepower on sea trials which gave the ships a speed around 11 knots. The engines used by Hecate and Gorgon were built by Ravenhill and were simple horizontal 4-cylinder direct acting steam engines and their working pressure was 34 psi and they produced a total of 1, 579–1,709 indicated horsepower for about the same speed. The first pair of ships carried 250 long tons of coal while the pair carried 270 long tons. This was enough to steam 3,000 nmi at 10 kn, the ships mounted a pair of 10-inch rifled muzzle-loading guns in each turret. The shell of the 10-inch gun weighed 407 pounds while the gun itself weighed 18 long tons, the gun had a muzzle velocity of 1,365 ft/s and was credited with the ability to penetrate a nominal 12.9 in of wrought iron armour at the muzzle. The guns could fire solid shot and explosive shells

The Huff-Daland XHB-1 Cyclops was a 1920s American prototype heavy bomber designed and built by the Huff-Daland company. The XHB-1 was designed as a version of the earlier LB-1 powered by a single 750 hp Packard 2A-2540 nose-mounted engine. It had a crew of four and had a 4000 lb bomb load, the Army decided not to order the Cyclops into production as it had decided single-engined aircraft were not suitable for the role. A twin-engined version was developed as the XB-1 Super Cyclops

Sentani International Airport
–
Sentani International Airport is an airport serving Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, Indonesia, on the island of New Guinea. The name of airport is taken from a lake nearby. There were 24 larger bomber revetments to the west of the strip, anti-aircraft defenses included 4 light guns that were later upgraded. The airfields were badly cratered by American bomber raids, the American facilities consisted of three large military airfields, Hollandia, Sentani and Cyclops Airfields. At the end of the war, Hollandia Airfield was abandoned, the latest aerial imagery of this area now show a large housing development project underway on the site. Cyclops Airfield, which was a single facility to the northeast of Sentani Airfield. This field is notable because it functioned as MacArthurs HQ at Hollandia, Sentani Airfield is the only part of the complex still in use as an airfield today. It is used as the entry point into the Indonesian half of the island of Papua. It has one runway designated 12/30 with a surface measuring 3,000 by 45 metres. The airport serves as the port of entry into the island of Indonesian New Guinea. The air traffic is roughly divided between flights connecting to destinations within the Papua province and flights linking Papua to other parts of Indonesia, Sentani Airport is also the main base for several aviation organizations, including Associated Mission Aviation, Mission Aviation Fellowship, YAJASI and Tariku Aviation. As of the end of 2015, the airport incorporates all the aforementioned improvements, unlike typical airport terminals around the world, Sentani Airport features signs that read Dilarang makan pinang posted on walls throughout the terminal.

SS Cyclops (1906)
–
SS Cyclops was a British cargo steamship of Alfred Holt and Company. She was built in Glasgow in 1906, served in both the First and Second World Wars and survived two German submarine attacks in 1917, a German submarine sank her in January 1942 off the coast of Nova Scotia, killing 87 of the men aboard her. This was the first attack of the Kriegsmarines Unternehmen Paukenschlag to destroy Allied merchant shipping in the Western Atlantic and this Cyclops was the second of four Alfred Holt ships to bear the name. The third was a ship built in 1948, renamed Automedon in 1975. The fourth was built in 1975, sold to Greek buyers in 1983, d&W Henderson & Co of Glasgow built Cyclops in 1906 for Ocean Steam Ship Co, Alfred Holts ship-owning company. She had twin screws, each powered by its own three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine, between them the two engines developed 585 nhp and gave the ship a speed of 13.5 knots. Cyclops had been equipped with wireless by 1930 and wireless direction finding by 1933, on 11 February 1917 the German Type UB III submarine SM U-60 unsuccessfully chased Cyclops southwest of Ireland. On 11 April that year west of the Isles of Scilly Cyclops evaded a torpedo fired by another Type UB III submarine, Cyclops had a speed of 13.5 knots, and when the UK entered the Second World War in 1939 she was 33 years old. Nevertheless, she made most of her wartime voyages unescorted, in September 1939 Cyclops was in the Far East. She called at Shanghai, Hong Kong and Saigon before reaching Singapore on 1 October and she left on 23 October, called at Penang in Malaya and then crossed the Indian Ocean via Colombo in Ceylon to Suez. She passed through the Suez Canal to Port Said, where she joined Convoy HG9 and this left on 19 November and reached Liverpool on 8 December. Cyclops spent Christmas 1939 in Liverpool and left port on 30 December and she reached Southampton on New Years Day 1940 and then made two round trips across the English Channel to Le Havre and back. Her movements, if any, for the six weeks are unrecorded. Cyclops left Southampton on 9 March and reached the Firth of Clyde three days later and she left the Clyde on 25 March and reached the Downs roadstead in the North Sea by 31 March. In April and May 1940 Cyclops took part in the Franco-British Norwegian Campaign and she left Leith with Convoy NM1 on 15 April, reached Scapa Flow the next day, and then continued to Narvik where she arrived on 24 April. Three days later she left, reached Le Havre on 1 May, on 18 May she left Harstad under naval escort, reaching the Firth of Clyde five days later. In June 1940 Cyclops took part in Operation Ariel, the evacuation of Allied forces from western France and she left the Clyde on 7 June, called at Plymouth 8–13 June, reached Brest in Brittany the next day and on 16 June returned to Plymouth. On 21 June she left Dartmouth and four days later she sailed from Saint-Jean-de-Luz in southwest France, after calls at Newport and Milford Haven, Cyclops returned to deep ocean service

West Cornwall Railway
–
The West Cornwall Railway was a railway company in Cornwall, Great Britain, formed in 1846 to construct a railway between Penzance and Truro. It purchased the existing Hayle Railway, and improved its main line, when the Cornwall Railway reached Truro in 1859, rail travel between Penzance and London was possible, by changing trains. The main line of the West Cornwall Railway is still in operation at the present day, the Hayle Railway had been opened as a mineral railway in 1837 between copper and tin mining districts near Redruth, and sea ports at Hayle and Portreath. The line was very lightly engineered, with light T-section rails on stone blocks, there were four rope-worked inclined planes on the system, which was standard gauge. Passenger traffic began to be carried on the line between Redruth and Hayle, but the physical limitations of the system were significant. Local interests promoted a scheme to extend the Hayle Railway at each end of its line so as to link Penzance. They formed the West Cornwall Railway company, and their proposal was to lease the extensions to the Hayle Railway, the atmospheric system was proposed for the Truro to Redruth section. (In this system, stationary engines create a vacuum in a pipe between the rails, and vehicle at the head of the train carries a piston, entered into the pipe. The scheme was estimated at £160,000, however a parliamentary bill in 1845 was defeated, chiefly because of concern about the delays and inconvenience due to two rope worked inclines on the main line, at Angarrack and Penponds. The companys capital was to be £500,000 with borrowing powers of £165,000, the line was to be broad gauge, subject to the liability to lay additional rails of the gauge of any railway which might thereafter be constructed through Cornwall to Truro. The main line was to be from Carvedras in Truro, with branches to the Truro River and to Falmouth, and to Penryn and to St Ives. Possession of the Hayle Railway was taken on 3 November 1846, the price being paid in 4,000 West Cornwall shares. However the powers granted were conditional upon the West Cornwall laying broad gauge rails on six months notice from any connecting broad gauge line and this is said to be Brunels first experiment with this rail section. Several new viaducts were required, including Angarrack and Penponds, in each case on account of the deviation to by-pass the inclines. By February 1852 the route was practically ready between Redruth and Penzance, and on 16 February 1852 the former Hayle Railway section was closed to enable the final connections to be made. On 25 February a locomotive was seen in Penzance for the first time, formalities were completed and the line was ready for opening. On 11 March 1852, the West Cornwall main line was opened between Penzance and the new Redruth station, without ceremony. The West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser newspaper, which had reported the directors inspection run in detail, did not record the opening, although an accident at Hayle on 17 March was reported

New Zealand DM class electric multiple unit
–
The New Zealand DM/D class were a class of electric multiple units used on the Metlink suburban rail network of Wellington, New Zealand. Formed of DM power cars and D trailer cars, the first units were ordered from English Electric in 1936, additional units were ordered in 1942 and 1946 as other Wellington suburban lines were electrified. The units were relegated to peak services and the Johnsonville Line after the arrival of the Ganz Mavag EM/ET units in 1982-83, the units operated their last revenue service on 25 June 2012, from Wellington to Melling and return. Five complete units and six cars have been preserved.49 km of track between Wellington and Johnsonville into an electrified suburban branch line. The new trains were allocated as the DM class and the D class, due to the limited number of these trains, NZR were required to run additional locomotive-hauled carriage trains until the arrival of the first Ganz Mavag EM/ET units in 1982. The class operated in two configurations, Two-car unit. Used on the steep Johnsonville Line until March 2012, as trains for peak and two-car trains off-peak and weekend,38.4 metres long with a tare weight of 69.7 t. Two car units were operated on the Melling line. Until March 2012 there were 11 two-car units in service, at the time of their withdrawal, the D/DM sets were among the oldest rolling stock operated by KiwiRail. By this time all trains were composed of 1946 stock, the 36 and 42 stock having been eliminated from service in the early 1980s, as originally built, the DM class motor cars seated 56 passengers and D class trailer cars seated 72. Some DM cars had the seats in the rear section in front of the luggage compartment removed. As originally built, the DM class motor cars had a drivers cab located in the luggage compartment at one end of the car allowing them to operate as single car units. The second cabs were removed to provide spare parts giving increased luggage space. Prior to this, the service on the Johnsonville Branch was operated by one of the 1942 stock DM cars. Each car had ten 150 V electric heaters in series run off the 1500 V supply, the bogie wheelbase on 36/42 stock was 7 ft 6 in,46 stock were four feet longer at 8 ft 0 in. The 36/42 stock had ventilation louvres in the doors,46 stock had taller windows, the 36/42 stock had one coach-mounted brake cylinder only,46 stock had Westinghouse electro-pneumatic air brakes and automatic brake equipment. Because of their shorter wheelbase and the smaller motor-generator set designed for one trailer only, the introduction of the EM/ET class units from 1982 onwards saw a large number of the class become redundant, namely all of the 36 and 42 stock. In the early 2000s, the members of the class underwent a moderate refurbishment to extend their operational lives to 2012

British Rail Class 67
–
EMDs designation for this locomotive type is JT42HW-HS. The locomotives were obtained on a 15-year lease from Angel Trains, at the end of the fifteen-year contract, ownership of the locomotives was transferred to DB Cargo UK. Unlike the Class 66, the motors are frame mounted rather than axle hung to reduce unsprung mass. The cab design has a driving position. High speed running tests were undertaken with 67002 starting at Alstoms facility at La Sagra, a top speed of 143 miles per hour was obtained. The first locomotive to be delivered was 67003, which arrived in October 1999, initially plans were for a rapid acceptance into service, but problems with the locomotives being slightly out of loading gauge caused delays. Acceptance trials began in December, and all 30 units had been delivered to the UK by early 2000, Rail enthusiasts have nicknamed the Class 67 Skips because of its design. Initially the class were used primarily on mail trains, in June 2003 EWS lost the Royal Mail mail train contract, with services diminishing to complete cessation in March 2004. The locomotives have since used by First ScotRail on the Caledonian Sleeper on non electrified lines north of Edinburgh. In April 2015, GB Railfreight commenced a contract to haul the Caledonian Sleeper, in March 2015,67004 was re-painted and renamed. This is to be used on the Serco Caledonian Sleeper, the current stand-alone Serco franchise uses traction provided by GB Railfreight. A fleet of six Class 73/9 electro-diesel locomotives to operate the non-electrified sections of the route to Fort William, Inverness, however, DB Cargo UK Class 67s ceased being used in June 2016. As Thunderbird rescue locomotives for failed trains on the East Coast Main Line, on freight trains. Five locomotives were also dedicated to Wrexham & Shropshires services until it ceased operating in January 2011, Chiltern Railways will sub-lease six Class 68s from December 2014, to replace Class 67s on its Chiltern Main Line services. In March 2012 Arriva Trains Wales began the lease of three Class 67s from DB Schenker to replace its Class 57s on its North-South Wales Premier Service, locomotives that do not currently carry their names are shown with the name in brackets. The locomotives were painted in EWSs maroon and yellow livery. In 2003,67005 and 67006 replaced the two previous Class 47 locomotives hauling the Royal Train and these were repainted in the Royal Claret colour, and named Queens Messenger and Royal Sovereign in December 2000 and February 2005, respectively.

Cyclops Steel was a steel company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Led by Chairman and CEO William H. Knoell, Cyclops pursued a strategy which helped it to diversify from steel. As a result, Cyclops purchased the Clairton, Pennsylvania based 16-chain Busy Beaver lumber stores in 1972, Cyclops and Colts Manufacturing Company entered into a very public battle for a Colt steel mill in Midland, Pennsylvania during 1982. In August,1986 Cyclops shareholders rejected selling off its steel mill business in favor of a management suggested re-focusing only on Silo & Busy Beaver retail stores. In 1952, Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees opened the day of his three-day visit. April,1980, Senator and 1980 presidential candidate Edward Kennedy visits the Bridgeville, Pennsylvania mill on a campaign stop

SouthWest Cyclops were a Canadian professional indoor lacrosse team that played in the Canadian Lacrosse League. The team, originally named the Brampton Inferno, played their 2015 season in Paris, the team ownership was confirmed on June 19,2011 and the team was scheduled to start play in 2012. On January 7,2012, the Inferno played in the inaugural CLax game, defeating the Iroquois Ironmen 18-11 in Hagersville, Ontario. In their first season, the Cyclops, then the Inferno, played a 14 game schedule, the Inferno found themselves on the losing end of the semi final by a score of 17-16 being defeated by the eventual Creators Cup Champion the Ohsweken Demons. In 2013, the Inferno recorded a record of 8-6. In the playoff picture, the Inferno were defeated by the Durham TurfDogs once again being denied a visit to the championship game. In December 2013, after two seasons, the Inferno were renamed the SouthWest Cyclops and will play in Hagersville, Ontario out of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, in 2015, the team relocated to Paris, Ontario

Cyclops64
–
Cyclops64 is a cellular architecture in development by IBM. The Cyclops64 project aims to create the first supercomputer on a chip, Cyclops64 is part of the Blue Gene effort, to produce the next several generations of supercomputers. The projects were started in response to the construction of the Earth Simulator. Cyclops64 is a project between the United States Department of Energy, the U. S. Department of Defense, industry. The architecture was conceived by Seymour Cray Award winner Monty Denneau, each 64-bit Cyclops64 chip will run at 500 megahertz and contain 80 processors. Each processor will have two units and a floating point unit. A thread unit is an in-order 64-bit RISC core with 32 kB scratch pad memory, five processors share a 32 kB instruction cache. The processors will be connected with a 96 port,7 stage non-internally blocking crossbar switch and they will communicate with each other via global interleaved memory in the SRAM. The theoretical peak performance of a Cyclops64 chip is 80 gigaflops, a full system would contain 13,824 C64 chips, consisting of 1,105,920 processors capable of running 2,211,840 concurrent threads. Cyclops64 exposes much of the hardware to the programmer, allowing the programmer to write very high performance. One negative consequence is that efficiently programming Cyclops64 is difficult, the system is expected to support TiNy-Threads and POSIX Threads. Verification testing and system development is being done at the University of Delaware.
